@4LeafCloverBaby yeh came back today and wish i hadnt bothered! wasnt appreciated at all! and im defo not 100% yet! am i safe to take ibruprofen for my muscle aches? they are so bad on my legs atm but i dont know if i can as heard if i am by any small chance pregnant ibruprofen is really bad for pregnancy😬

@Cazzy87 go home at lunch if you aren’t feeling up to it hun. You don’t owe them anything. Ibru. is a no really because it can affect the womb lining. Paracetamol is ok though x

i know i did think so! the paras are helping my temp but doing nothing for my aches! never mind we plod on! 😴

@Cazzy87 how you feeling hunny? x

@Lowrilawson hows it going? Did the red witch show her ugly face? x

@KittyFantastica hows things with you hun? Any kind progression? x

@4LeafCloverBaby no but it will be tomorrow, got my usual spotting :( xx

Hope you all had a nice Valentine’s Day!

@Cazzy87 hope you’re feeling better!

I’m 2DPO and had a restless night, checked temp and it’s spiking after ovulation, so all looks normal here. Here comes the 2WW!

How we all doing? Anyone else in a similar cycle? X

@Lowrilawson got fingers crossed af doesn't arrive for you.

I'm 6/7dpo today. No symptoms to rexport. I feel pretty normal I guess. Had headache yesterday but think I didn't drink enough through day and I'm pretty tired but just been busy working dull time and decorating at weekends. Strangley feel really confident about it this month though not sure if thays cuase had accupunture through this cycle though and making me feel optimistic. Probably get a huge let down when AF arrives. Trying not to think about it and just get on with the days though and not do any tests unless I'm late. Good luck everyone else on the tww.

Nothing to update, really. Some odd things going on, but I don't want to read into it much.

My tests have all been light. Two days ago (14DPO) I'd run out and the new box of strips arrived via Amazon around 7pm, so I did one. That test looked a little darker than my morning ones, which are still very faint. So I did a little reading and did an experiment yesterday. One test with FMU, one with SMU with 3 hour hold and nothing to drink, and one in the evening around 7pm last night.

The first test was faint. The second test was slightly darker and the evening test was the darkest test I've ever had. Sadly, this morning's test is the faintest I've had since 13DPO and I'm 16DPO now. I guess hcg peaked for me last night and is on its way down again. I expect to miscarry any time between now and this time next week.

First picture is 13DPO next to last night's darker 15DPO tests. Second picture is 14DPO, 15DPO and 16DPO together. The tests do try very pale so they're only good to read when still wet, but 16 was still wet there. No surprise, but still devastating to see.

@KittyFantastica I just wanted to pop on and send love. I got my bfp last month after my chemical in December. By 16dpo my lines were getting much fainter and I just knew. Absolutely devastated so I know how horrible this feels right now and I'm so sorry. I'm sorry You're having to go through this, its such a horrible thing to test and see fainter lines not darker. I'm so sorry ❤️

@4LeafCloverBaby not much better still dosing up and keeping down fluids! Not gone into work today and not even a msg back from my boss or acknowledgement to my msg, why do we spend half our lives at work and realise we are so easily replaced? 😢 I just want to feel normal again 🙈
Thanks @CharliP33
I'm sorry @KittyFantastica maybe don't test anymore and see how it goes 😔 easier said than done I know

Thanks @Boatlifelover and @Cazzy87. It's a bizarre time.

I carried on with the experiment and the same has happened again today. I've attached the picture. 1 = FMU at 7am and 2 = SMU at 10am.

I caved and did a digital this morning after being too afraid previously and it says 1-2 weeks. I'm 16DPO so I know it should say 2-3 weeks by now. I'm just so confused. I do now have a bit of boob pain in both breasts, and I had two very minor cramps yesterday, but that's it. I only tested with FMU before my last chemical, so don't have anything else to compare to.

I can still accept that this is likely a chemical waiting to happen, I just can't understand why the test darken and then lighten up again every morning. Bizarre.

I hope you are all okay! AF is here, it's very light but definitely here :( xx

How you're okay too @Lowrilawson. How are you feeling?

The confusion continues here. Yesterday's FMU was one of the faintest I've seen. Yesterday's SMU was the darkest I've had by far.

This morning I had the first half-way dark line from FMU I've ever had. I don't know what to make of it. It's very difficult not to get hopeful, but it's quite a jump from yesterday's. I just want to be able to feel happy and stop testing, but I'm far too scared.

How is everyone else doing?

@KittyFantastica it definitely looks like it's progression I would definitely be getting a blood test, I'm okay, my period isn't really here it's really light literally more like spotting but I'm sure it will be full on soon xx

Unfortunately, my GP don't see you for pregnancy, @Lowrilawson. It's self referral o the maternity unit only. They won't do blood tests in request, I'd have to go private, which isn't an option at the moment.

Today has been the best this far. We'll just take it one at a time.

@KittyFantastica well that just sounds stupid ahah I feel for you xx

@Lowrilawson Ahh that sucks - at least if it's here you know, so you can just focus on the next cycle. But I know how frustrating it is..

@KittyFantastica Thinking about you - fingers crossed for you, that looks more positive today at least x

I'm currently 3dpo and because we really tracked ovulation and focussed on DTD at the right time, and it felt really positive, I will be gutted if it doesn't happen! But it's okay if not! I had some spotting yesterday, but that happens for me a few days after ovulation. I'm trying not to obsess and dwell and signs and symptoms, as otherwise this TWW is gonna draaag haha. So just gonna get my head down and get some work done and try and not get stressed!

@CharliP33 thanks, it's frustrating me more as it's really not here it makes me have a tiny bit of hope but I know it's stupid to hope at this point aha xx

Stay possative @KittyFantastica . I'm 7/8dpo today. Still no symptoms apart from not being able to watch a programme in tje evening without falling asleep. Which is normal. I did get up in the night for a wee which is unheard of but think just coincidence as I don't expect any symptoms yet anyway.

Yeah I can imagine! Hopefully you'll get some clarity either way soon :) x

Thank you @CharliP33 and @Racket81!

I symptom spotted like crazy from like 1DPO and never had a single one. Even now, the only thing I can say is that I've had slightly sore breasts that comes and goes away again, and I've been waking up about an hour earlier in the morning needing to pee for the last two days. That's basically it!

Fingers tightly crossed for you both.

In my fertile period again so let see how this month goes. Not really feeling it this month though.
On the plus side my Hertility results have come back all in range other than my AMH being high but I have no signs of PCOS so I am not too worried and taking it as a sign I have a good amount of eggs still 🤣

Great news about the hertility test! :)

Hi lovelies, sorry I’ve been a bit quiet recently. Hope you’re all ok. Just caught up on messages 🥰

@Mummysparrow thats great news for your test results, definitely puts the mind at ease doesn’t it ☺️👌🏼

@KittyFantastica very weird about your test lines 🤔 Really hoping you get some clarity soon ❤️

@Lowrilawson oh hun that’s shitty 😔 Countdown to your lovely holiday now though 🏖️☀️x

@Racket81 @Cazzy87 @CharliP33 the dreaded 2ww…it’s so hard just waiting & reading into every little thing isn’t it 🙄 Hoping the time passes quickly for you ladies 🤞🏼🍀 (@Cazzy87 hope you’re feeling a bit better now hun x)

I’m just counting down the weeks until my next scan…3 to go! Suffering with slight nausea, lots of wee stops in the night, horrid cramps & starving all the time…apart from that life is a peach 🍑 😂

Thays great @4LeafCloverBaby so lovely thay you are still following us and we can still follow your journey. It always seems lile 9 months takes forever when you are the pregnant one doesn't it. But it goes so fast to onlookers. My baby I misscarried would be due on Feb 23rd of this month and time seems to have flown by. I ok with it though and weird enough my next period is due to arrive on my misscarraige due date so if I got a bfp that would be an amazing rainbow baby but I'm not getting my hopes up with such a long journey I've had so far and my age I have learnt not too. My friend is also pregnant and only seems like 5 mins ago she told me at 7 weeks pregnant and now she is 18 weeks again seems like iys gone quickly as an onlooker. I so want to join the pregnancy club again, staying possative and optimistic as thays what us ladies ttc have to do.. My house is also going on the market at the end of the month and we are going to be looking for a larger home but renting together to pay off my debts and release equity so we can enjoy our life together. Something I feel I habe to do when you start again with a new partner at 38 it's also our 4 year anniversary too in April so lots to look forward to and be grateful for.

Have good weekends ladies too many of you to mention, I am going to be half way aroumd Essex all weekend following my children playing football but I absoloutley love it.

I'm not goimg to test I'm gonna just chill and wait till af due day. X
